Review (AllMusic) : This 1970 release by former Band of Gypsys' drummer Buddy Miles is, quite simply, one of the great lost treasures of soul-inspired rock music. From the funky drive of the title track to Miles' plaintive singing on "I Still Love You, Anyway" and Greg Allman's "Dreams," the album is filled with the best qualities of both genres. Not only does Miles prove himself to be a great interpreter of songs, but with the title track and "Heart's Delight," he demonstrates his ability to write solid material on his own. Complemented by the Memphis Horns, Miles' songs soar and swing as hard as any Stax release, and his voice, underutilized when he played with the Electric Flag and Hendrix, combines the nuance of soul singing with the grit of rock. Them Changes is definitely worth the extra effort to try to locate.
